Member of the Chamber of Advocates of the RA

DOI: https://doi.org/10.59546/18290744-2025.10-12-15

 

Annotation.

This article examines the mechanism of vetting as an effective instrument of transitional justice, especially in the post-revolutionary Republic of Armenia. The author reveals the significance of vetting in the context of restoring public confidence in the judicial system, increasing the integrity and independence of judges. The article examines in detail the implementation of vetting using examples from international experience, paying special attention to its legal basis, the need for constitutional provisions, as well as the composition, functions and formation of control mechanisms of the body implementing vetting. The article analyzes potential risks and speculations that could transform vetting into a tool for political retribution, a departure from its original objectives. The author proposes a phased and comprehensive approach that combines the vetting process with the reorganization of the judicial system, the training of new judges and broad public involvement. Effective implementation of vetting is considered an important prerequisite for the establishment of a legal state and the rule of law in the Republic of Armenia.

CANONS OF THE PARTAV CHURCH COUNCIL AS A SOURCE OF LAW

VLADIMIR HOVSEPYAN

Applicant at the Institute of Philosophy, Sociology,

and Law of the National Academy of Sciences

of the Republic of Armenia

DOI: https://doi.org/10.59546/18290744-2025.10-12-3

 

Annotation.

This study aims to demonstrate that, in the Early Middle Ages, the rules adopted at Armenian Church Assemblies played a significant role in the development of Armenian law. Among these, the document adopted at the Partav Church Assembly occupies a special place, elevating Armenian legal culture and all its components to a new level. In this regard, it is substantiated that church documents adopted in the Early Middle Ages in the capital of Partav in the Armenian Eastern Territory (the provinces of Utik and Artsakh in Greater Armenia) under Arab rule played a regulating role in the development of spiritual and secular relations among the Armenian people. Both the preamble to the Canons and the Canons are invaluable and essential documents for the study of the history of medieval Armenian law.

The monuments of legal thought created in the Armenian Eastern Region were considered in the context of the problems of the formation and development of Armenian law, of which the norms concerning marriage and family law had the goal of preserving the Armenian ethnicity, the appearance and identity of the Armenian people, the foundation of the traditional Armenian family.

THE PRACTICE OF DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARISM (part II)

MARTIN MANUKYAN

Responsible for monitoring the work of the Office of the

Public Defender of the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Armenia,

Lecturer at the Department of Jurisprudence of the Yerevan University “Gladzor,” Candidate of Legal Sciences

DOI: https://doi.org/10.59546/18290744-2025.7-9-163

 

Annotation.

Analysis of the main models of Western European parliamentarism and the practice of their development shows that the structure of power in them has its own characteristics; parliamentarism is generally based on constitutional provisions that enshrine the principle of separation of powers, mechanisms of checks and balances, freedom of activity of various political parties, and high legal and political culture of the population. Parliament symbolizes and implements the political representation of the national state, or what is the same, the nation-state; accepts the oath of the head of state; expresses confidence in the government on behalf of the sovereign people; etc. The author of the article believes that it is the specifics of the relationship between the representative and executive powers that form the basis of the classification of parliaments presented in this article.

THE NATIONAL REFERRAL MECHANISM OF PERSONS SUBJECTED TO TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION IN HUMAN BEINGS AS A GUARANTEE OF THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

SERGEY GHAZINYAN

Lecturer at the Chair of European and International Law,

Yerevan State University (YSU), and the American University of Armenia (AUA)

Expert at the YSU Center for European Studies

DOI:https://doi.org/10.59546/18290744-2025.7-9-151

 

Annotation.

National referral procedures or mechanisms (‘‘National Referral Mechanisms“) are cornerstones of a human rights-based and victim-centered anti-trafficking policy, designed through systematic procedures to ensure the identification, protection, and assistance of victims. Based on international human rights standards, they translate legal obligations into practical steps by defining the roles of competent authorities and referral pathways. Studying the legal regulations and the practical application of referral procedures is crucial for assessing the protection of and the effectiveness for persons subjected to trafficking.

This article examines the referral pathways for persons subjected to trafficking and exploitation in Armenia, including legislative regulations and practical challenges. The study focuses on the three main procedural stages of the referral mechanism: detection, pre-identification, and identification.

The findings highlight significant achievements in the field, including the adoption of a dedicated law, the establishment of competent bodies with clear mandates, and the prioritisation of a human rights-based and victim centred approach. Nevertheless, persistent shortcomings undermine the system’s effective operation to promptly and adequately protect victims. In particular, the detection phase remains the most problematic, with frontline actors having ambiguous mandates, lacking standard operating procedures, insufficient training, and fragmented coordination.

The article provides a comparative analysis of Armenia’s experience against international standards on victim-centered and human rights-based approaches, arguing that national referral mechanisms require not only legal guarantees but also sustained capacity-building of competent bodies, harmonized internal procedures, and proactive engagement from all sectors. The article offers legislative and practical recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness, accessibility, and accountability of Armenia’s national referral mechanism.

TYPOLOGIES OF CRIMINAL MECHANISMS IN TREASON

SUREN BAGHINYAN

PhD student of the Criminal Procedure and

Criminalistics Department of Yerevan State University

DOI: https://doi.org/10.59546/18290744-2025.7-9-135

 

Annotation.

The author, analyzing various sources of criminalistics literature and recent developments in investigative practice, has identified the typical models of the mechanism of treason and substantiated their practical significance for increasing the effectiveness of investigations.

To fully present the criminalistic characteristics of a crime, it is first necessary to reveal the mechanism of its manifestation, its structure, and its elements. In criminalistics, the concept of a “crime mechanism” is broader than its criminal-legal definition. It includes not only the illegal actions but also the dynamics of their development, the relationships among the crime participants, and a complete systemic picture of the process.

The crime mechanism is a sequence of interactions that result in the creation of trace reflections, which contain information of significant criminalistic value about the crime itself and its participants. Each individual interaction implies the presence of another interaction’s course or is a formative element of the latter, as a result of which the entire system acquires a stable and dynamic nature.

Based on the above, the crime mechanism can be understood as a system of both direct and indirect interactions between the crime participants, as well as between them and the material world, which is accompanied by the use of corresponding tools, means, and individual elements of the situation.

Scientific approaches propose using typical models of a criminal event, which provide a more complete and systemic picture of the investigation. Theorists note that a criminal-legal characteristic only partially reflects the aspects of criminal activity, while modeling allows for revealing developmental regularities and building a systemic methodology for the investigation.

It is notable that typical models of a crime are distinguished based on the elements of the crime mechanism’s structure. The same applies to the typical models of the criminal mechanism of treason, which make it possible to reveal the possible investigative situations and regularities in the investigation of this type of crime.

Thus, the typification of the models of the treason mechanism makes it possible to develop a clear plan of investigation and an algorithm of actions, which in turn ensures the effectiveness and organization of the investigation.
